You're saying that Capt Rainey was present and saw these guys take bribes?!?

Any new construction project requires low income housing. Big developers can make a deal where they'll concentrate all the low housing in one building. Everyone else is putting skells in with normal people. This means NYC is constantly increasing the inventory of low income housing...

FYI - NYC DOB is not like others: these aren't professionals, like engineers and/or experienced tradesmen, they're civil servants that have a checklist they follow. For example, a friend of mine worked for DOB, prior experience was an auto mechanic. Architects self certify their plans. So, in...

There've been fires at this place before Li-ion batteries were a thing. And they were more frequent.

Elevator? Water leak? OOS? Nothing like being on an elevator or water leak and hearing the handie talkie transmissions from a job a couple blocks away.

Thank you. THAT'S an answer.

The reasons that existed for the satellite to be assigned on every job in SI don't exist. Is it necessary in 2026 to send the satellite on every single job? Having 2 unnecessary rigs lights and sirens on packed city streets for 20-30 minutes is a reckless policy.

Yes. This one, sure. But every?

Isn't the rest of the city like 20?

I know in the past, satellite was assigned on every all hands in SI due to low pressure, lack of hydrants, and other issues. For decades, hydrant pressures on SI have been ridiculously high. Is it necessary to keep sending the satellite automatically in 2026?

SI Advance is less reputable than my HS Newspaper. I wouldn't be surprised if the "reporter's" neighbor's cousin's son's girlfiend's baby daddy relayed that info. Not a shot at you jlab, this is a shot at that rag.

I don't understand the headline of this thread. Did Houston FD members ignite the fire intentionally?

MCI? There were 10-45's?

20-30 years ago, yes. Now the hydrant pressure on SI is much higher than the rest of the city.

Curious if this started on the deck and spread up the exterior

Cropsey and Neptune is 166

I'm going by what the FDNY training guys did, what they tested and reported, what they drilled us on. What I did to keep my guys safe. I don't know what gear this guy is wearing. Don't really care to be honest.

Bunker gear w/o life preserver has a ridiculously short time to stay afloat. The SCBA might provide some air for a while, but they're SCBA's, not SCUBA's. And that's if the facepiece is on when you fall in. When we went to a boat/pier, depending on our due, I'd have maybe 2 guys geared up in...
